There is a dark cloud gathering over my cubicle. I am hearing rumblings that I will be responsible, as the Lone Tech Writer, for developing and maintain all systems documentation, such as system requirements, design specs, etc.

This troubles me, as I feel that there are plenty of issues directly related to user documentation, such as improving the online help effort, researching and developing ways of making documentation available over the internet and on CD, to single-source or to not single-source, that I need to be working on. In my background, the programmers/engineers produce the design documents, which I use as a basis for developing the user documentation.

What have been your experiences with systems documentation?
